way.
hello One,
if i remember correctly, blasphemy was the charge for which Jesus was
crucified...
most of what you probably hear as "Christian bashing" is from folks who have
been brought up in some form of the Christian religion, and who have felt
hurt and severely damaged by some aspect of it... discussion of some of the
crimes perpetrated in the name of Christianity is helpful to the healing
process of many who are curently dealing with such pain...
> And God doesn't send us to Hell, we send ourselves there with our sins.
Sin draws us away from God and makes us spiritually weak and easily dragged
to Hell.
well, i'm the one who just brought that up... so how about getting back to
the particular case that we were speaking about?...
a family is devastated with grief over the suicide of a mentally ill teenage
son who was caught in a vicious circle of despair... and the Christian
religion of the family is compounding their grief by teaching them that
their son's soul will now be tortured for eternity without any further
chance of redemption, ever...
now, that really makes me angry... how do you think Jesus would feel about
this crime perpetrated in his name? perhaps he would do some
Christian-bashing also...
sincerely,
percyval
